THE BELT

Audio visual installation
2018

The Belt is an audio-visual installation linking a functioning computer system to an exposed water-cooling network. Tubes extend beyond the case into architectural space, echoing the branching routes of the historic Silk Road.

The installation folds together the visual language of club culture, early video-game hardware and contemporary GPU systems that now drive AI and real-time graphics.          


LED-lit components, looping video and the low mechanical hum situate the work between exhibition, hardware sculpture and nightclub environment—mapping ancient trade routes onto today’s accelerated network cultures.          


Created in collaboration with musician and producer Privacy.
